Also you need some sort of weirdness angle, you'll have to come up with that on your own.

The worlds of lucha libre and hip-hop have clearly been yearning to merge for some time. I think he'll be fine.

I think everyone uses Pro-Tools.

You should probably call dicfr to see what program he uses to mix stuff like mikeyrap.

El D,

Others have mentioned this already, but please note that the cost does NOT include the capital needed to sign dcifrths!

(Or microphones, or a powerful computer, as NT mentioned, to run Pro Tools)

Otherwise, the answer is yes!

Ikon,

I think the fact that you misspelled your name gives street cred to your abilities, e.g. Snoop Dogg, Outkast, etc.

Although the Neptunes beats are pretty amazing, I personally think the best beats used to come from Mobb Deep, around "Tha Infamous" and "Murda Musick". If you study beats you like, and see the elements to them, the effects, you can replicate your own version of these with an MBOX. You could probably even do some with samples and FruityLoops, but I don't reccomend it. I suggest once you get the equipments, find beats that you think are the best that are ALSO widely popular. Emulate these beats "in your own words" or in this case, with your own style. Or just light the trees up and let whatever happens happens. If you have the creative intellect, that is all you need.

Now you will never blow up and sell millions of records.

I have a friend that raps but is too broke for beats. I too would like to become a sick producer. I actually have made a couple beats with some [censored] programs in my day. If I learned to use the better programs I think I could make some cool ish.
